Hyacinthus was a stunningly handsome young mortal Spartan prince whom Apollo fell deeply in love with. He Courted the young prince, but so did Zephyrus. The prince chose Apollo and turned down Zephyrus in the end. The sun god neglected his usual duties and shrines to spend all his time hunting, racing, and playing sports with the prince. Zephyrus (the West Wind) also loved Hyacinthus, and grew bitterly jealous that the prince preferred Apollo. One sunny day, Apollo and Hyacinthus were practicing throwing the heavy disk (the discus). Wanting to show off, Apollo threw the discus high and far. Hyacinthus ran eagerly to catch it. Consumed by rage and jealousy, Zephyrus blew a violent gust of wind that redirected the flying disc. It bounced off the ground and smashed directly into Hyacinthus' head, instantly mortalizing him. Apollo rushed to catch his dying lover, trying with all his divine healing powers to save him, but it was too late. Refusing to let Hades claim the boy's soul, Apollo transformed Hyacinthus' spilled blood into a sweet, dark flower (the hyacinth/larkspur). It was the first time tears had ever touched the God’s cheeks. He inscribed the petals with the Greek cry of grief, "AI, AI" (Alas), and the Spartans honored the youth with an annual three-day festival called the Hyacinthia. He has very dark brown, thick, and highly textured curls with park purple tips. Medium-length hair styled with dramatic, messy volume in a ponytail. Warm, rich, brown skin tone with slight purple undertones. Dark purple eyes with lighter purple rings around the pupils. Purple and gold floral and vines markings. Sun flower behind the ear and purple Hyacinths woven into the hair. A sun spiral motif necklace with a yellow Calcite in the center, a shorter necklace with a gold lyre charm with white diamonds embedded into it, and an even shorter necklace with a purple hyacinth motif, the Hyacinth charm is made of purple Musgravite and Amazonite. He is also wearing a striking armlet features delicate gold wires artfully shaped into stylized floral designs, each cradling a vibrant purple stones(Flourite, Spinel, Charoite, and Alexandrite for the leaves) shaped into hyacinths and some purple pearls. The intricate wirework includes spirals and woven bands, creating a piece that evokes both nature and artistry. It appears whimsical and ethereal. He has a second one on his other bicep except it’s yellow stones(Citrine, sapphire, Calcite, and Opal)and in a sunflower shape. And instead of purple pearls. It’s yellow ones. His clothes (ancient Greek clothes obvi) are purples, dark purples, light purples, blacks, whites, and golds with floral hyacinths designs. He is now the god of Hyacinths and Rebirth. Hyacinthus is a kind, caring, gentle soul who likes to garden, listen to music, play with the discus with people (99% of the time with Apollo), and hang out with Apollo.
